all the other episodes

listen, i don’t know why exactly i fell off of watching star wars movies… i grew up watching the original ones and i loved them. my last day of senior year, we all went to our senior breakfast and then went to go watch the phantom menace in fresh meadows and that was it, until the mandalorian came along.
when i worked at the video store, all of the prequels were out already – i dunno how it completely fell off my radar. i guess it was everyone always barking at me that they all sucked so bad, that i dismissed them all. well, i should have taken my own advice and not listened to anyone, bc i actually enjoyed episodes I (for the most part) II, III and i’m up to and loving VIII.
when i used to work at the video store, i realized very quickly that my customers and coworkers and i didn’t really ever see eye-to-eye on movies, so i don’t know why i didn’t apply it until 2022, but here we are.
i’ve been watching all of the star wars movies in order all week, and my goal is to get caught up until the mandalorian and book of boba fett (i’m caught up on both). i feel like there are also a bunch of spin-offs i’ve never watched and i’m following wikipedia’s order to watch them in.
yes, i realize the CGI yoda is awful. jar jar binks is a tool… the stories went a bit quick for my liking, but overall, i didn’t hate them at all. i feel like there was so much TLC put into the originals before all of the technology that they couldn’t replicate, which was probably an issue for the fan base… a lot of people had these super high expectations, as well. i thought it was a decent prequel story line, for the people who wanted it. it’s not like you NEED to watch them to figure out how darth vader came to be, you’re told other family information, etc. in the original trilogy. the prequels are just for seeing it all play out.
after googling a bit, in addition to what i just pointed out, there were people complaining about the romance story line between anakin and padme… well how tf do you think those kids came into the world/universe? lol. again… it’s a prequel, why would you expect anything less than seeing that type of stuff?
anyways, if you too have not watched them, i hope you finally do. i love getting lost in that lil universe and i’m enjoying myself! i can’t freakin’ wait to get my ass down to galaxy’s edge.
